We´re very sorry to learn of Eddie´s passing. We met him when we were staying at Hope Lodge in 2015 at the same time he was. Living together for several weeks, we became good friends and tried to "keep up" with each other over the years. He was a wonderful person and is remembered fondly. God bless you, Judy and family.
